Two-thirds of Britain's dog food customers are in favour of introducing licenses for canines.
This is according to a study published by the RSPCA, which is submitting the findings of the TNS poll to the government.
Officials at the charity argued that introducing a registration scheme could solve a host of pooch-related problems, including puppy farms, abandonments, trafficking and theft.
The research also found that 76 per cent of Britons overall would back the introduction of licensing.
Head of external affairs at the non-profit body David Bowles remarked: "An annual scheme would also help to ensure that contact details of owners are kept up to date so they can be reunited with their pet more easily if it is lost or stolen."
Last month, the government announced it was looking at bringing in compulsory third-party pet insurance, but dropped the idea after criticism from dog owners.
Home secretary Alan Johnson and environment secretary Hilary Benn are also looking into extending dangerous dogs laws.
